Challenge Dungeons

Kept secret by the character once called Namingway, perilous hidden dungeons await in most of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years' tales. For the lucky adventurer who stumbles upon them, they hold bountiful amounts of monsters to slay, and plenty of delectable treasure to take. They also have strategic value, as empowering your characters through secret dungeon visits will make them far more powerful in the final chapter, The Crystals. All things considered, how can you look the other way?

Below, you will find a list of locations for Namingway, whose new role—as Challengingway—is to whisk you away to these tantalizing locales. Prior to visiting him, you must finish the respective tale, reload its save file, and then head to wherever he dwells. Though you should stock up on perishable items before entering, these Challenge Dungeons are normally short. Don't underestimate them, though!
